CHANNEL TRANSMISSION METHOD AND BASE STATION

摘要

A channel transmission method of a base station used in a communication system employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is disclosed. The channel transmission method includes the steps of selecting sectors where soft-combining is to be performed based on location information of a mobile station and/or the type of a channel to be transmitted; generating transmission signals each including a pilot signal for demodulation and data of the channel to be soft-combined and transmitting the generated transmission signals to the respective selected sectors; and causing the mobile station to receive and combine the transmission signals arriving from the selected sectors within a guard interval.
